Re: solve captcha
Re: solve captcha I'll second Dark's recommendation. I also use Captcha Be Gone and can say I've never had it not solve a Captcha, though every once in a great while you might have to submit the Captcha a second time to get a correct solution.

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?
Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I posted this in your other thread asking for Dot assistance, but you apparently didn't see it.Things might be different in the UK than here in the US but, Amazon Prime isn't just the priveledge of ordering stuff from them. As a Prime member you get free two day shipping on all orders that are fulfilled by Amazon. Also there is Prime instant video which is Movies and TV shows you can stream at no additional cost. The same goes for Prime Music. And it's an annual subscription, not monthly. But, Prime is also not for everyone, if you don't do a lot of online ordering, then Prime is probably not worth the price.I first tried Prime Music and found that most of what I'm interested in wasn't available through it, So I tried Music Unlimited, but found that the Unlimited in its title is misleading because there were significant gaps in what was included so I canceled it.Amazon Music, whether Prime or Unlimeted is a streaming service. If you want to own your music files, either buy MP3s or CDs and rip them.I've been a Prime member for years because I average at least two orders a month, so I more than make up the cost of Prime in shipping costs I no longer have to pay, plus it gets here in two days instead of one to two weeks, on top of everything else Prime gives me.

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?
Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? On Prime's two day delivery, understand that that is not a guaranteed delivery time but an estimated delivery time. Amazon does try to deliver your Prime orders within the two day window, but some orders frequently will take longer than the allotted two days despite Amazon saying that it will be delivered in two days. In the past two months, I've had just under half of my orders not arrive in the promised two days.I might have to look into just exactly what are Pandora and Spotify to see if either might be something I'd want.

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? One thing Amazon will do for Prime members, if you buy digital music or CEDs, they'll make that music available for streaming so you can play it on any of the Echos. The catch is you have to look for a message on the product page that says that that will be done if you buy it as this only done for certain tracks and CDs.

Re: Accessible smart devices
Re: Accessible smart devices I use the Talking Universal Programmable Thermostat 3000, it does require that a sighted person install it, but after it is installed, it is fully accessible without needing anything else like a smart phone app.I also have an Amazon echo, since it is 99% voice operated with no displays of any kind, other than colored lights which aren't required to use it, it is fully accessible. It does require a mobile app to set it up and to do some things the the Echo itself can't do. The other 1% that isn't voice activated are two buttons on the top of it which are rarely needed..I could go on and on but whether I should or not depends on your definition of what a smart device is. So, until I have a better idea of what fits and what doesn't, I'll stop there.

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?
Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I've had that problem with playing music and have given up on it. I use the Echo to stream local or Amazon music stations, and my Victor Reader Trek when I want to hear specific tracks or albums.But if anyone wants to mess with it, I've found that you often have to tell Alexa the name and artist of the track or album you want to hear. For example, "Alexa, play Close Encounters of the Third Kind by John Williams". Then sometimes you'll find the other issue in that if the album has a title track, you'll get that rather than the whole album.

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?
Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I may be canceling my Amazon Prime membership. Amazon has introduced their own delivery service called Amazon Logistics or AMZL for short. Along with this service they've also introduced a service for Amazon Prime members called Amazon Key that will allow their drivers to open your front door while you are not at home so they can leave your package inside. They are using their delivery service to bully Amazon Prime members into using Amazon Key because without it, their drivers will not leave your package at your front door as UPS and the post office do, so you won't get your order unless you wait around at home all day waiting for them to deliver your package. This is a totally unacceptable turn of events.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 First of all, a glorious happy new year to everyone!And now, something I just have to get off my chest.Man! Some people really do make you wonder.I won't go into details, but suffice it to say that my brother is a convicted felon with multiple felony convictions, so he is struggling with trying to find work, and money is a huge problem. To help him out I gave him a bunch of stuff I had that I could no longer use because of the loss of my vision. I figured that if he could sell them the money he might get for them would help him. Several months later, he has yet to list them for sale, I wonder what he's waiting for.Then a couple of months ago he came to me telling me that a friend of his wanted to give him an old car he had, but he'd have to come up with the money for the title transfer, tag, and insurance. Since I occasionally paid him to help me when I needed sighted help, he proposed trading helping me for the money he needed to get the car. He talked about how having a car would make it easier for him to find work and for him to come to my place to help me out when I needed it. I told him that I didn't need sighted help often enough to justify simply giving him the money but suggested that I could give him a no interest loan with no set time table for repayment, just when he could afford to. He agreed, so I helped him get the car.After he has the car, instead of being thankful or grateful for my helping him get it, he starts telling me how he has this free car that he could sell for a couple of hundred in six months when the insurance runs out. Wait a minute! I just spent almost $700 helping him get the thing, it is definetly not free! Plus he's making it sound like he has no intention of finding work so he could keep the car! Had I known all of this, I'd have never helped him get the thing!Since then he has made a number of insensitive and ungrateful remarks to me about a variety of things related to the various ways I've tried to help him. It got to the point that I no longer wanted to be around him because I didn't want to hear those upsetting remarks any more.Realizing that I still occasionally needed sighted help from time to time, and not wanting to deal with my brother any more to avoid his often upsetting remarks, I've decided to sign up for the Aira service. I have the Be My Eyes app, and it works great, but those people that are providing assistance are untrained vollenteers. While I think it's great that they are willing to help as they are, there are times where my personal information or safety is involved and I'm not comfortable using them for that. Once the wearable technology the Aira service uses arrives, I'll be able to start learning the service, it should be an interesting adventure!

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 @aaronYeah, I'd been watching them for a while and was keen on signing up with them, but only after they developed their own glasses instead of using the really expensive video glasses like Google Glass which has those fideo screens in front of your eyes which are totally pointless on a visually impaired person.Now they have their own developed glasses that just acts as a place to mount the camera, so it was time.I'm starting off with the basic 100 minutes a month plan which should be more than enough for my needs and is quite reasonable at $89 per month.As for my brother, at this point I consider that the loan will never be paid back, while unpleasant, financially it doesn't hurt me all that much. And as the saying goes, "You make the bed you sleep in." I wouldn't want to sleep in the bed he's made and is making for himself.

Instead of admitting that she had been wrong to attempt to fix her coffee while driving, she sued McDonald's for making their coffee too hot and was awarded millions instead of being cited for distracted driving as she should have been.Of course part of the blame goes to our legal system for allowing such frivolous law suits in the first place.@shotgunshellI know what you mean, I was teased and bullied all through my school years because I had to wear these thick and strong bifocal glasses, and even with their correction my vision wasn't very good, so I had lots of social and emotional problems. The problem for me was that my parents decided that the reason for my problems was because I was misbehaving, so the problem of being teased and bullied was never addressed, no matter how much I complained, I eventually quit complaining because all it ever got me was to be punished for misbehaving. Only now, when the damage has been done and there's nothing they can do about it, do they realize how wrong they were all those years.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 Sheesh! You can't trust anybody these days. A couple of weeks ago a motion activated surveillance camera caught a UPS driver returning to a home where he left a package to steal it. And then a couple of days ago an Amazon driver was caught stealing a package he was supposed to deliver. Considering that the value of each package stolen was $1,000 or more, both of those drivers have just ruined their lives for something they didn't get to keep. They'll no doubt do time for their crime, and be convicted felons when they get out which will make it very hard for them to get meaningful work, so they'll end up losing anything they own and are still making payments on such as their home and car, etc. What idiots!

An instruction that takes 4 clock cycles on an Intel CPU often takes only 2 clock cycles on an AMD CPU.

But now that I've been using an Intel based laptop for ten years, also with no problems to speak of, I think the best answer to this question is that neither one is better than the other, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. So its down to personal preference.Kind of like which came first, the chicken or the egg. Neither answer is right or wrong, it's just an answer.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 I got my Aira glasses today and spent some time with an Aira representative learning how to use them and the service.During the first month they recommend you use the service in a variety of situations even if you don't need it to familiarize yourself with the equipment and the service. So that when you are in an unfamiliar situation, such as navigating a building for the first time, you will already be comfortable with the service.I'm so excited that I feel like I can't sit still. With this service I'll have trained sighted assistance whenever I need it. Something I've never had before. No more waiting for a family member to help get some things that need a sighted person done. The feeling of independence is awesome!Beside the glasses which provide a home for the camera, the box also contained a dedicated cellular WiFi hotspot to provide the glasses with a connection to the Aira service. It's a device about the same size and shape as my iPhone SE. Also included were a couple of USB charging adapters and cables, I have so many of those now they are coming out of my ears. Also included was a cloth carry bag to protect the glasses when not in use.Stay tuned if you're interested, There will be more to come.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 Hmm, Dark, you have a good point there about the glasses. All I can say is that apparently Aira is targeted at people who's vision is so poor that glasses wouldn't do them any good. In my case, before I lost my vision, I did wear a pair of very strong and thick bifocals, but once I started using the long white cane, I realized that the glasses weren't doing anything useful any more, so I quit wearing them.As for the Aira glasses themselves, they are a commercial product called Glasses Cam, which Aira loads their software onto. They resemble a pair of Aviator sun glasses, Aviator being a brand, not a type. Attached to the right temple is the camera in a long thin case with a couple of buttons on it. The back of the right temple, behind the ear, is where the batteries for the camera are stored.The glasses connect to the world and the Aira service via WiFi, so you also have to carry around a WiFi hotspot that connects to the internet using a cellular data connection. Part of your monthly subscription pays for that connection. The hotspot is about the size of an iPhone 5, but about twice as thick and an inch shorter. It has two buttons on it though you only need one of them. You also get a cloth bag to store the glasses in when they are not in use, a USB charging adaptor, and a micro USB charging cable which is used for both the glasses and the hotspot. To all of this I'm adding a Bluetooth earpiece with a mike so I can use the service hands free. While at home, I can just use my iPhone in speaker phone mode, but if I'm out and about, I'd rather keep my phone in my pocket, instead of in my hand, so I'll use the earpiece. I chose the earpiece design over a headset design because where I'll be using it, I don't want to cover both ears, I'll want to be able to hear my environment.I myself would have preferred a hard case for the glasses with enough room to store the hotspot and a Bluetooth earpiece. Not only would it provide better protection for the glasses, it could keep all the pieces I need to use the service in one place.I'm sorry to hear that cold is still bothering you, but at this point, probably all you can do is try to treat the symptoms so you don't feel quite so rotten and let it run it's course.Sounds like despite being in the 21st century, that university is still stuck in the dark ages.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 The cost for the equipment is part of your subscription so there is nothing to buy. The glasses and hotspot only provide the video connection so the assistant can see what you are looking at. The smart phone app is used to connect to the service and provides the audio between you and the assistant as well as other functions like reporting on battery condition or service usage. You can also use the service with just your smart phone in which case the service uses the camera in your phone. I don't know if the subscription prices are lower if you decide to use your phone's camera instead of the glasses, but I would think that it would be lower without the glasses.Depending on how much you plan to use it, there are several different subscription plans to choose with the primary difference being how many minutes of use you get each month. I decided to start off with the basic plan which gives me 100 minutes per month and costs $89 per month.They also have a referral program where if someone I refered to the Aira service signs up, we both get a free month of service.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 That depends on you. While you are connected to the service, your assistant sees what the camera sees, and talks to you through the connection on your phone. It's like having a sighted person at your side to describe to you what's around or what's going on, or they can help you with a task that needs sighted help to accomplish.One example of how I'll use it is that I get my voting ballots mailed to me. I fill them out, then mail them back so my vote can be tallied. In the past I had to wait for a family member to be available to do this, next time I'll use Aira!You can get a free example of what Aira is like by getting the Be My Eyes app for your phone. Like Aira it connects you to a sighted person who will see what you show them by aiming the phone's camera and talks to you through the phone. The difference is that with Be My Eyes, you are working with untrained volunteers, while with Aira you work with trained assistants who are under non disclosure agreements to protect anything they learn about you while working with you. And Be My Eyes is free. Other than that, the experience is very similar.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018 Did I speak too soon?Somewhere I think I said that I had not had a cold or flu for about ten years.I woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat that made me cough frequently, and today I woke up with the throat plus something that feels like chest congestion but doesn't sound like it, and a head that hurts and feels as big as a balloon, and a runny nose, and I'm freezing even though I'm wearing long sleeves and long pants.Ugh! I feel like shit warmed over. Damn! I must feel like hell if I'm using four letter words that I normally avoid.

Re: A question. LOL! Voice actors are always changing their voices to fit the roles they are playing. Ever heard of Mel blanc?

Re: Monthly chat January 2018
Re: Monthly chat January 2018 @DarkPardon my ignorance, but what are pelican crossings? I've never heard of them before, maybe it's a UK thing.Oh Aira wouldn't have any issues reading signs for you, but they'd leave what to do with the information up to you.Not to disparage your parents because it's clear they mean well, but it would have been more polite to ask if they could borrow the menu with the promise of returning it. I doubt the diner would have had any objections once they knew why they wanted to borrow it.I don't know how common this is in the UK, but over here, most restaurants, diners, and eateries have web sites and put there menus online. It's easy enough to capture it as text and load that on the Victor Reader if you are so inclined.Yeah, syrup and bacon can easily be classed as a sweet and salty flavor which is becoming quite popular. I'm with you though in that I'd prefer my pancakes and bacon be kept separate. I'm not a fan of sweet and salty.You sound like you have the same problem I do, so many games, so little available free time to play them. And now I have this cold or flu eating into my playtime. I've spent most of the past three days in bed. The last time an illness kept me in bed was 2003.

Re: Monthly chat January 2018 We do have intersections with pedestrian crossings, but as far as I know, they don't have any special designation other than being a pedestrian crossing.Now I've heard there are pedestrian crossings that have a speaker next to the button you push to signal you want to cross that will announce the status of the walk light for the visually impaired, but they are either very new or very rare because in all my 60 years, I've never actually encountered one.

But when I compare it to JAWS, JAWS wins, hands down. And while I agree that JAWS' initial price is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, I do not regret spending the money on it in any way.A couple of years ago I tried Firefox and used it for about a year, but accessibility problems, such as parts of the configuration screens not being accessible, and it's lack of even the most basic integration with Windows, like putting its bookmarks into a file, instead of a favorites folder, was rather annoying, so about a year ago I removed it and haven't missed it one little bit.I'd consider looking at Chrome, but I've heard that it too has accessibility issues, so I just use what works best, Internet Explorer, and make it a point to be aware of its vulnerabilities. I would love to disable everything Active X because I know of no site that I visit that uses it, except for maybe Windows update. If I knew that Windows update wouldn't be affected I would disable Active X completely because about the only thing anybody seems to do with it is to push crap you don't want at you.This message is beginning to wander a bit, so I'll quit now before it really goes out into left field.

Re: Does Anyone Have A Solution to this Problem
Re: Does Anyone Have A Solution to this Problem In Windows 7, System Restore is on by default. The only change I made to it was to increase the amount of disk space it could use from the default 3% to 5%, figuring I'd get a couple more restore points that way.That's good to know about System Restore and Windows 10, I have a niece that had to reinstall Windows 10 because of an update that went south on her and there were no restore points available.

Re: Ordering Grocerys
Re: Ordering Grocerys When I lived in Chicago I used Peapod and loved them, you did all your grocery shopping online, then during checkout you could pick the day and time you wanted your groceries delivered, earliest being the next day. You could tip the driver directly or add it to how much they charge your card. You have to sign for the groceries but it's just a paper form and the driver will show you where to sign.Now I'm in Florida and wishing very hard that Peapod would expand down here.I found instacart's website unusable, when I got to the page where you put in your delivery address, all the screen reader could see on the web page was a single line of text. I tried several times using different screen readers, but always got the same result.I also looked at ShipT but at the time all they had was an inaccessible smart phone app. While a smart phone app will work, personally, I find a web site far easier to use and more convenient.My brother tells me that the store he shops at, Safe Way, has delivery, but since I haven't looked into it yet, can't report on it.So, for now, I just walk to a near by Publix and one of their employees will go around the store with me to find the things I want or need. Publix is always advertising how customer service is their number one priority, but honestly, the service I got from an Albertsons store that is now closed puts Publix's customer service to shame.Right now, I still have some light perception, but as that slowly deteriorates, I find myself less and less willing to go walking around outside and will have to either start using a cab to go grocery shopping, or find grocery delivery in Florida that works for me.

Re: Jaws2018 is out and possible upcoming firefox problem with jaws
Re: Jaws2018 is out and possible upcoming firefox problem with jaws Normally I'd have no problem switching from Internet Explorer to Edge because I know how vulnerable Internet Explorer has always been and will just get worse when Support for Windows 7 & 8 ends in 2020.But it seems that no matter how much Microsoft talks about making their products accessible, it appears that the whole accessibility team took an extended leave of absence while Edge was being developed. Even Microsoft says that Edge has a very long way to go to become as accessible as Internet Explorer is now.True and honest accessibility isn't something you tack on as an after thought, it has to be part of the design philosophy from day zero and the ground up. Otherwise it will always look and feel like an after thought rather than a part of the product's design.
